Brett Lee's son a fan of Indian skipper Virat Kohli

Former Aussie international Brett Lee was in Coimbatore to promote the second edition of the much awaited Tamil Nadu Premier League. The deadly speedster fascinated the students of SNR College and School as he carried on with the proceeding. Lee mesmerised the whole crowd which included young ones to the teachers.

Brett Lee was thrilled to see the crown chant the name of the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni which went like ‘Dhoni Dhoni’. Lee was one of the top bowlers during the reign of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and he recalled how the ‘Sachin Sachin’ chants created an electrifying atmosphere at the stadium that time. Time has changed and those chants have turned into ‘Kohli Kohli’ now.

Brett Lee revealed the fact that his 10-year-old son is a fan of the Indian skipper. The 40-year-old then went on to narrate an incident where he mentioned that how Virat Kohli gifted his son a signed Test shirt of his. Lee said that when the bowler told Kohli about his son being a fan, Virat Kohli signed one of Test shirts and handed it over to the Aussie as a gift for his son.

What Lee said:

“My 10-year-old son’s favourite batsman is Virat Kohli. Once, when Kohli walked past me and we shook hands, I told him that you are my son’s favourite batsman. Kohli showed a great gesture when he gave my son one of his Test shirts signed – with best wishes Kohli,” Lee narrated.

On completing the interaction with the students Lee went on to do what he does best. He bowled to three students with a tennis ball in the auditorium. Lee then moved on to the SNR school where he shared some valuable tips with the students. He mentioned that he would have been a rock star if his cricketing career did not work out. “Never settle for something you don’t believe in.” advised Lee.

Brett Lee also visited cancer patients at a local hospital and gave them a time of their life. He distributed some autographed mini-bats and smiley balls and also narrated stories on some old photographs that were shown on screen.
